ATQMIZER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No.744,60 November 1903-Application filed October 18, 1902. Serial No. l2'7,837. (No model.)

My invention relates to that form of atomizer which consists of anair-blast pipe and a liquid-supply pipe disposed at an angle toeachother, the spray being caused by directing the blast of air acrossthe perforated end or mouth of the liquid-pipe. o

The invention consists of a simple, cheap, and effective form of suchatomizer in which the pipes are rigidly held in that angular relation toeach other which insures the most effective sprayingaction, but whichcan be reduced to compact form for transportation or storage and has noparts to be broken by rough handling.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 shows my improved atomizer incondition for use. Fig. 2 is a view showing the parts of the atomizeradjusted for packing or transportation, and Fig. 3 is a perspective viewof the principal element of the atomizer.

My improved'atomizer consists principally of a metal block comprisingtwo wings 1 and 1, disposed at an angle to each other, the wing 1 havingan outwardly-projecting tapered stud 2, and the wing 1 havingoutwardly-projecting tapered stud 2*, each wing and its projecting studhavinga central bore 3 or 3. To the b0re'3 a pipe 5 of comparativelysmall diameter is closely fitted, and this pipe projects above the topof the wing 1, so that its upper end is opposite the center of the bore3. The pipe 5 is a liquid-supply pipe and when in use is projected intothe contents of a bottle or other receptacle containing theliqnid to beatomized or sprayed.

To the outside of the stud 2* is fitted a pipe 5, which is intended tocarry the air-blast necessary to operate the atomizer; but when theatomizer is not in use this pipe may be Withdrawn from the stud 2,slipped over the pipe 5, and fitted to the stud 2, as shown in Fig. i

'2, so that the atomizer can be conveniently carried in the pocket orpacked in small compass for storage or transportation. The blast isusually supplied by placing the pipe 5 in the mouth and blowing throughthe same; but said pipe can of course be connected to any desired formof blast device.

The passage of the blast over the mouth of the pipe 5 causes a partialvacuum therein and induces the liquid to rise from the bottle, the blastcausing the spraying of this liquid as soon as it reaches the top of thepipe 5.

As the pipe-carrying block is in one piece, the pipes 5 and 5 are.always held in a definite relation to each other, which relation is thebest for securing the proper spraying action, and as the top of thefluid-pipe 5 always bears a definite relation to the bore 3, whichsupplies the blast, there is no likelihood of the atomizer getting outof order. Hence it is always ready for immediate use.

Each of the wings 1 and 1 is by preference beveled at the corners inorder to lessen its weight and improve its appearance.

Having thus described my invention, 1 claim and desire to secure byLetters Patent- 1. An atomizercomprising a block with perforated wingsat an angle to each other, each wing having a projecting stud, afluid-supply pipe carried by one of said wings, and an air-blast pipeapplicable to the projecting stud on either wing. I

2. An atomizer-block having two perforated wings disposed at an angle toeach other, each of said wings having a projecting hollow stud,substantially as specified.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in thepresence'of, two subscribing witnesses.

JOHN D. PIERCE.
